Recently, “Zhang Xue Motorcycle” won two consecutive championships, breaking the monopoly of European, American, and Japanese motorcycle manufacturers over the middleweight class in WSBK, sparking widespread online discussion.

On April 1st, philanthropist Chen Guangbiao posted a video on social media saying he would gift Zhang Xue a Rolls-Royce worth 13 million yuan: “Hello Zhang Xue, I am Chen Guangbiao. You are amazing, taking Chinese motorcycles to win two consecutive championships in top international competitions, breaking decades of foreign dominance. This is a pride of Chinese manufacturing. I am thrilled to watch. To honor your contribution to the country’s glory, I have decided to give you a car—our company just purchased the only 2026 long-wheelbase Rolls-Royce Phantom in China, market price 13 million yuan—as a reception vehicle for you, Zhang Xue. You are a hero of China. I look forward to your continued success and making Chinese manufacturing shine worldwide.”

According to public attention, Chen Guangbiao revealed to reporters that this “only 2026 new long-wheelbase Rolls-Royce Phantom in China” has arrived in Nanjing, and he hopes to contact Zhang Xue through media to complete the delivery.

In response, Zhang Xue’s social media platform said, “Wow, I’ll accept it. By the way, I’ll recruit a nearby trusted second-hand car dealer to buy it at 80% of the market price, then donate the money to Yanzhao Angel. We’ll just be a bit humble and use a van to pick up clients.”

On April 2nd, philanthropist Chen Guangbiao responded again regarding the gift of a Rolls-Royce to motorcycle entrepreneur Zhang Xue. After Zhang Xue proposed reselling the vehicle and donating the proceeds, Chen Guangbiao said that although the original intention of gifting the car was to reward his patriotic spirit and for personal use, he also respects and supports Zhang Xue’s decision to monetize it for charity. Currently, Chen Guangbiao has reached out to Zhang Xue privately, hoping for direct communication.

CCTV News reported that on March 28th, Beijing time, in the first round of the SSP category at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) in Portugal, French rider driving Zhang Xue’s motorcycle 820RR-RS won the championship with a lead of nearly 4 seconds over the second place, earning the nickname “World Masterpiece” by netizens.

In the second round held the next day (March 29th), Zhang Xue’s motorcycle again took victory, achieving a double win. The team performed especially well in the straight-line acceleration segment.

WSBK is a stage to test the ultimate performance of production motorcycles. This time, a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer won the championship, breaking the long-standing dominance of Ducati, Yamaha, and other European and Japanese brands.

This brand, named after its founder, was established in Chongqing and reached the world’s top within two years, completing a shocking counterattack in Chinese manufacturing. Zhang Xue was moved to tears while watching the live broadcast, and later he posted on social media: “Doing something is not about chasing results, but because of passion. Maybe the outcome will be different.”
